Gov. Mark Dayton says Minnesota lawmakers will not raise taxes to pay for a Vikings stadium without voters approving it by referendum. That doesn't necessarily shut the door on building a new stadium. However, the Vikings were counting on $350 million from a sales tax increase. Now, both plans appear dead before consideration at the Capitol.

  • Just pick a site, get the friggin deal done, and go with it. Arden Hills sounds good, BUILD IT. Minneapolis is fine with me as long as the Vikings stay here. I say build it anywhere as long as they stay in Minnesota. It isn't like we have all the time in the world to do this. People act like we have 20 years to think of where to build it. ( : We don't. Tailgating would be nice I guess, especially for the hardcore fans. I am a huge fan, but I don't go to games.

  • I think we've come to a point where it's Arden Hills boom or bust. The Vikings will leave if the Arden Hills site busts.

  • Zygi knows the fans want tailgating.  He wants the fans to have the best time possible at the games. That's why they have no interest in Minneapolis because it's a far cheaper option.

  • Go ahead and build in Minneapolis if you really want to keep fucking over your fans! It is bad enough the Metrodome doesn't give the best fan experience, but what site would in the Twin Cities? Really? Sorry for the language, but this is getting ridiculous! Tailgating, Can you have the site that can offer it like Arden Hills? I know the Metrodome site cannot! Didn't they try the site right by Mall of America and didn't go anywhere? The talks went further with Arden Hills then in recent years!

  • Zygi Wilf showing no interest in the Minneapolis site? That's not a good sign right there because it appears to be they won't be getting a new stadium in Arden Hills because that site is too contaminated.

  • Minnesota can not afford to lose the Vikings.....
